The reaction between silver nitrate  AgNO3  and potassium chloride  KCl  produces a white precipitate of silver chloride  AgCl  and potassium nitrate  KNO3  in solution. The balanced molecular equation is:AgNO3 aq  + KCl aq   AgCl s  + KNO3 aq To find the net ionic equation, we first write the complete ionic equation by breaking down the soluble ionic compounds into their respective ions:Ag aq  + NO aq  + K aq  + Cl aq   AgCl s  + K aq  + NO aq Now, we can identify and remove the spectator ions, which are the ions that do not participate in the reaction. In this case, the spectator ions are K aq  and NO aq . Removing these ions, we get the net ionic equation:Ag aq  + Cl aq   AgCl s This net ionic equation shows the formation of the white precipitate, silver chloride  AgCl , as a result of the reaction between silver nitrate and potassium chloride.
